Arsenal 0-0 Everton. 16th April @ 19.45.

[Brennan]

Moyes on Everton being "rough with the tackling": "It's actually allowed in football. Up north we do that quite often".

What a lad.

 

[LTblue]

Everton are boss these days.

 

[Brennan]

never forget the tinkerer. HE'S HELPING OUT DA MIGHTY REDS GET FOWTH BY LOSING GAMES ON PURPOISE.

lets hope he is, but sadly it's because he's a gash league manager

 

[Brownie]

That's nice from David.

What did he say?

Agree 100%

When we had it on the floor and passed it about we looked like we could create something

I disagree mostly. Seemed to me that Arsenal were intercepting most of our balls on the floor. They really were very quick closing us down as well.
That being said most 2nd balls from our long passes landed at their feet too I felt.
...
So that being said I don't really know what else we could have done...

Pienaar's chance, Barkley's shot, Mirallas right at the end, Baines free kick.. Those could have gone in, but they were difficult, none badly gaffed like Giroud's...
We needed more set pieces I guess? uh. i dunno.

Did you win the passing, Brendan?

I honestly can not remember one ball over the top to Vic doing anything but Arsenal winning the ball back

The Barkley chance,Pineaar chance and Vic chance where all from balls played along the floor I think

What a lad.

Last 6 league games:

W 4 D 2 L 0

"Oh Davey Moyes...etc"

*officially forgives Wigan result ffs.

One page back mate.

The long ball was ****e all our best chances came from playing it on the floor jags distin and Howard are the main offenders

You are correct. But like I said, I don't think it was explicit instructions by Moyes to avoid playing on the floor, the Arse were extremely good at closing down our players, forcing mispasses and intercepting.

Baines had a bit of a shocker on the dead ball tonight didn't he?

 

[Del]

One page back mate.

Got yer

 

[evertony]

Coleman was fantastic and The Jag, Sylvain and Gibbo weren't far behind.

Wiltshire is the new Stevie G Larrrr...over-rated media darling.

Arteta is no longer an honorary Blue....card-waving knob trying to get Gibson sent off.

Arsenal let themselves down tonight. A right bunch of fannies constantly looking to go down too easy and in the ear of the ref. Snidey tactics, I wouldn't be happy if Everton turned out like that.

they kept stopping at every tug of the shirt when they could have kept going and been in a good position. didn't understand it
